Francophone Women's Groups in Minority Situations and ICTs

2nd June 2010

“Francophone women are less likely to use the internet than Anglophonewomen (40.4% compared with 55.3%, respectively)" says a survey reportreleased lately on the Womyn's Voices website. In the spring of 2002, 50women’s groups working in minority situations in Canada were surveyed onthe use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). Theproject's scope is limited, looking at Francophone women’s groupsworking in minority situations. Also since statistics tend to changerapidly, especially concerning ICTs, the data presented may not be anaccurate account of today's reality. It remains a valuable assessmentfor APC, not only for better understanding its current projects andmembers in francophone Africa and Canada, but also in preparing its newwebsite in French.
